Not by me!
I took myself to Music Bingo tonight, as I haven't seen those friends for a couple of weeks.
I sat across from Marcia, specifically so I could sing with her!
Well, it was also because it was the only corner chair still empty.
Sandy and Elissa were already there, as well as Elissa's son, Isaac.
Amanda, however, was late, so I took the seat she usually took across from her mother.
Yeah for me!
That made it so much easier on my right hip!
(smile!)
This week, the game had changed again.
A new group, Mix Tape Music Bingo.com, is in charge of the play slips and songs used, though Robert is still supposed to be the bingo jock.
He was not there tonight, but the young man who was ran the game the same as he would have.
That meant a free pitcher of draft beer was the prize for the first game, the "Yacht Rock Mix #1", which even had "The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys" - love that song!
None of us, thankfully, won that, as none of us drink beer.
(smile!)
Game 2 was the "Old School Club Mix", which certainly wasn't from the era when any of us were clubbing - lol!
We had to ask the phones for the titles of almost every tune!
None of us won the prize - free cocktail or appetizer - from that one, either.
Not that the losses kept us each and every one from ponying up $5 for the third game, "Stars & Stripes Mix #1", a country feast.
That's the only game not free, as its prize is the pot of money received from all the players who pay the ante.
That would have meant $215 in hand!
But not for any of us.
By this time, the grumbling among the more competitive in our midst began.
It promised a $50 gift card to Midtown Sports Grill for the winner!
All that was needed was a double bingo - horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
In the meantime, we had all this great music to enjoy!
"At The Hop", "My Girl", "Summertime Blues", "Respect", "Mr. Tambourine Man"!
That last song had been one of two I'd been waiting for to complete my double!
I only had one song that I needed to simultaneously complete the top row and the "G" column - wow!!!
However, it was not to be that I'd get "All Shook Up" by Elvis!
(Nice little inside joke with that one line!)
Someone else in the restaurant got their double first.
That's okay, though - we all had fun, listening and singing along as we danced in our seats and hung out together!
And, as I told the others, wasn't that the point?
(smile!)
Every day, I go to the site to amass Reward points and to spend them, too, mostly on the sweepstakes and these Instant Win games.
This morning, I won a $10 gift card to Jersey Mike's Subs!!!
I just may have to give that to Dawn - she loves that place.
(smile!)
